Sunday Morning News

Jacoby Ellsbury, the Native American player from the Boston Red Sox, got the Chevy Player of the Game in game three of the World Series. In last night's game he was the first rookie in sixty some years to get four hits in a World Series game. The World Series started on Wednesday and it is surprising none of the Native American newspapers covered Jacoby Ellsbury from the Navajo Nation being in the World Series...?

Comments

This is to be expected, Navajo Times has done extensive coverage of Jacoby Ellsbury, but with little noticability from other Native journal resources. Native Americans continue to make progress in all facets of professional sports, and should be recognized by all tribes. Unfortunately we still live in a day when there's plenty of hypocrisy, jealousy, and arrogance that overshadows the great accomplishment that we have witnessed with Ellsbury's participation in the RedSox win of the 2007 World Champs.
